...Hollywood ending to their long struggle for official recognition, scholars of the silver screen won unanimous approval from the Educational Policy Committee (EPC) Wednesday for an undergraduate concentration in film studies...
...mistaken identity was a reminder that it is hard to screen passengers based on names alone. Because full Arabic names are often complex and because there is no standard way of romanizing Arabic, one name can be rendered in English many different ways. What's more, though U.S. officials have been calling for the creation of a single watch list that would integrate suspicious-person lists across all relevant agencies, it has yet to happen.

Their meager, TV Guide-size dimensions meant that any model on display in their cramped surroundings had no acuter definition than a woman undressing across the courtyard, behind a screen, in the dark. I suppose that the dingy quality of the girlie pix, like the furtive circumstances of their purchase, was part of their appeal. In the 50s, guilty pleasures were almost obliged to convey more guilt than pleasure...
